Abstract: This paper presents the findings from both the detailed site investigations and the computational analyses on the Zipingpu concrete-faced rockfill dam (CFRD), a 156-m high dam in which 100-cm permanent settlement and 60-cm ...

Abstract: The strength and dilatancy behaviors of modeled dense rockfill material were systematically investigated through a series of true triaxial compression tests at different minor principal stress and intermediate principal ...

Abstract: This paper presents an analytical solution methodology for a tubular structure subjected to a transient point loading in low-strain integrity testing. The three-dimensional effects on the pile head and the applicability ...

Abstract: The influences of particle breakage on the position of the critical state line (CSL) were systematically investigated in this paper through a series of large-scale triaxial compression tests on Tacheng rockfill material ...

Abstract: Observations of the performance of coastal and marine structures in weather events that produce standing and/or progressive waves have pointed to liquefaction of the seabed as a contributing cause of damage. The cyclic ...
